Jaguars defensive tackle Malik Jackson making strong impression

Jaguars defensive tackle Malik Jackson knows all eyes are on him.

That’s what an $85.5-million contract will do.

The responsibility is one he embraces. Jackson saw how top-paid talent acted in Denver, watching quarterback Peyton Manning, as well as outside linebackers DeMarcus Ware and Von Miller.

“I’ve been around guys who’ve had big deals and I saw how they work,” Jackson said. “So, that got me ready and prepared me for what I’m doing. You have a lot of guys looking at you to see what you’re doing on and off the field. You’ve just got to be on your Ps and Qs and just be yourself, but know you’ve got people looking at you.
